## Summary

Swansea University bought clinical simulation and skills training equipment for teaching and practising clinical procedures. The equipment comprises trainers for venepuncture, vaccine injection, advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first aid, male rectal examination, and catheterisation. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, rather than a contract for clinical services or construction. The university is the buyer, and delivery is in Swansea and elsewhere in Wales. The requirement groups several distinct training models into a single lot, covering procedures relevant to clinical skills education. Suppliers active in the manufacture or supply of medical training simulators and practical skills equipment are the closest fit, particularly those able to provide the range of trainer types included in this purchase.

The procurement is complete: Swansea University selected Limbs & Things Ltd and signed an active contract. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs to 16 November 2026. Its value is £34,656 excluding VAT and £41,587.20 including VAT. The purchase was made by direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. It was structured as one lot, and the recorded award covers that lot. The published information gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the signed contract date is the dated outcome available. The procurement concerned goods, with delivery in Swansea and elsewhere in Wales.

This purchase shows demand at Swansea University for practical clinical simulation equipment spanning venepuncture, vaccination, advanced resuscitation and first aid, rectal examination, and catheterisation. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to offer suitable, robust trainers across these procedure areas, with the range and product knowledge to meet clinical skills teaching needs. Manufacturers and specialist distributors of medical simulation equipment are the strongest fit. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold purchase, so competitors should recognise that the route used here was not an open contest. The selected supplier was Limbs & Things Ltd, an SME, demonstrating that a specialist supplier was able to deliver this varied equipment requirement.
